Re^3: (RFC) A CGI whiteboard editing script for emergencies

Basically, what do you think of the design? Of using text files vs. XML vs. a db?
Wrap it all up behind DBI as a general interface layer and you'll be able to trivially (just change the DSN) switch between them ... so, for example, you can start with text files because they're easy to create .. or start with the db and if there're admin issues, switch to text or xml..
See DBD::CSV, DBD::AnyData, DBD::Pg, etc ..

(additionally consider putting Class::DBI or DBIx::Class or some other db abstraction layer on top of DBI)

Howdy! ...and there's always using SQLite as your database backend... That doesn't require a separate box or even a separate server process. yours, Michael	[reply]
